True !

Do it Karl we know you were you saw what happened do it.

fix ranger first pls

He and Fixi really seem to work well together, like Fixi seems a bit more calm and informative, while Blu uses a bit more energy. It’s a really good mesh between the two styles.

yepp – Anet give him a Hand, he’s doing good Stuff for your Game!

great shoutcaster, great stream, keep it up

agree 1001%

yes yes yes

Without Blu, we wouldn’t have the little Esports that we currently have. +1 definitely.

Thanks guys so much for the support, it really means a lot, Actually getting a bit choked up reading this lol. However, you guys are forgetting Fixi!

He’s been with me nearly every cast so far, he deserves just as much recognition as I do.

Again guys, thank you so much for all the support over the last week, it really means a lot, and it has definitely convinced me that this game can still become a very strong esport.

See if you had been with the game in Beta… You would know something.

The Devs came out with PvP, and were winning for about the first 10 games against the group testing, which was about 15 people.

It took 15 people 10 games to figure out how to abuse stuff the Devs hadn’t thought of.

The Devs then ignored the critical input of these people.

So basically, the Devs don’t PvP, they don’t understand PvP, and they don’t listen to people that do.

Thusly, if Blu isn’t dumb, the devs won’t listen to him. So The odds of them endorsing him in any way are pretty slim.

Nice job Blu, +1

Wasted effort. Come GW1 instead~

A lil harsh but to the point.

Can everyone plz stop spamming this Thread with hatefueled nonsense?

This Thread should be a sign of hope, a celebration of things to come!

@BLU:
You’re doing a great Job and I hope you’ll keep it up, but here is one suggestion:

- It’s basically impossible for an active Caster to organize Events, set everything up, cast up to several hours a day and still be a Top-Tier Player. Now I don’t say that Casters aren’t good at the games they cast and they should truly do their best to improve in the game and play on a high level, but they’ll most likely never have as much insight into the game as a Top-Tier Player.
Also, people love hearing Top-Players cast, not only because of their knowledge, but because they get to know them from another Angle and they can bask in the glorious amounts of Knowledge those Players possess.

So, here’s my Suggestion: As many times as possible, get a Top-Player to cast with you, this doesn’t need to be every cast, but I guarantee you that if sm1 like Teldo (or any1 else from TP) or other Top-Players (Crs, IDL, CN etc.) co-cast with you, it’ll jsut put the cast on another level.

Also, if you just have a few contacts of top-players, they can basically just hop in on Skype or whatever when there’s nothing else going on for them, so there’s much less time-commitment involved on their side.

Another Point that’s very important to me is:

Use Team-Colors: Really, the game is confusing enough for anyone that isn’t playing it on a high level, being able to easily identify which Char belongs to which Team just does so much to lessen that confusion and to make things easier to identify.

I would like to see: A little screen with sidepoints/midpoint coverage when things are happening in two places. The way they sometimes do it in LoL. I dont know if it’s a feature LoL’s spec mode has or they just do it themselves.

At least I got 1 fan lol, thanks blu <3

Shoot me an email. We’re kind of tight this weekend and limited during the week due to my work and school schedule, but I’ll see if we can fit you in. DrBlu42@Gmail.com

Sorry Fixi….
It´s just easy to overlook you because it´s blu´s twitch channel and you aren´t there the whole time while blu is, and blu´s always full of energy and shouting and stuff while you´re way calmer and just not even nearly as active as blu is in the streams, but you´re still a really important addition to the casting, it´s like you´re the quiet guy in the background who makes the whole thing work

Blu is the shoutcaster….fixi is the analyst. thats the way i view it…because he doesnt really shoutcast at all….I dont think a single word he has said has been telling people whats happening….more so analysing what has happened and what could / should be done differently improved, what was done well etc.

ColinJohanson.2394:

You’re our boy Blu!

And our other streamers and shout casters as well!

Building in more support for folks who want to support and grow the PvP community in Gw2 is absolutely one of our major projects right now, and not something we’re going to say is good enough and done as is.

Great to hear that!
May I ask how much time that projects will need to get started? As we all know Anet likes to take their time before changing anything in and around their game

At least, get the guy a GW2 sweatband!

Yeah that is right, but of course also planned like that. It wouldn’t make much sense for me to do the same thing as blu – I just complement the shoutcast with (hopefully good) analysis. I hope you guys feel the same way about it.

Was that an “Old School” reference?

If that was, all my anger about Necro downed state hp and minion AI just disappeared.

Why not say it’s good enough and done as is? I mean I’m not certain which decisions were yours personally but… as a whole I’d say arenanet is pretty generous with those statements when it comes to PvP. I’m surprised they didn’t say it was good enough and done as a whole back when having add sponsored youtube videos or streams was still illegal.

blu is still a bit green

if this game continues to grow and blu gets better and better at casting and this game still has his interest, i can only imagine what he can do.

so anet:

Ask not what blu can do for u, but what u can do for blu.

yyeeeeaa

Mature and restrained discourse failed to precipitate desired results.

Anet just ignored / kicked from beta those of us who told them nicely their pvp was bad and should be re-examined.

Now I’m kitten flailing at them – because I feel like that speaks to their intelligence level.
